Infertility affects about five million individuals of childbearing age in the United States, yet infertility is a subject about which many people are reluctant to talk. This book discusses extensively many options available to individuals struggling with infertility. Infertility can result from a number of causes and affects men and women in equal numbers. Difficulty conceiving can take a heavy toll on couples both physically and psychologically and can lead to depression and marital discord. There are, however, many options available to those struggling with infertility for having a child. These include innovative medical procedures and powerful drugs as well as a variety of alternative treatment approaches, surrogacy, and adoption. A part of Greenwood's Health and Medical Issues Today series, this book provides an overview of these options and examines the many health, financial, and ethical decisions of each that must be considered when choosing one. Part I explores what causes infertility and the history and evolution of its treatment and then examines the options available today, detailing how they work, their success rates, and their risks. Additionally, it addresses controversial topics such as the legislation of assisted reproductive technologies and the regulation of fertility clinics. Part II delves into the many scientific, economic, and ethical debates that surround infertility treatment, presenting a clear and objective analysis of the issues. Part III provides a variety of useful supplementary materials, including case studies, a timeline of critical events, a glossary, and a directory of resources.

Even 30 years after the birth of the first "artificially produced baby Louise Brown in 1978, the desire for a child remains unfulfilled for many couples. Their hopes are to modern techniques of assisted reproduction. Reproductive medicine has since made enormous progress and opens up new opportunities. With these opportunities, however, are also linked new challenges, their moral and legal implications are considerable. Auch 30 Jahre nach der Geburt des ersten „Retortenbabys“ Louise Brown im Jahr 1978 bleibt für viele Paare der Wunsch nach einem eigenen Kind unerfüllt, und ihre Hoffnungen richten sich auf moderne Techniken assistierter Reproduktion. Die Reproduktionsmedizin hat seitdem immense Fortschritte gemacht und neue Chancen eröffnet. Mit diesen Chancen ist indessen zugleich eine Fülle neuer Herausforderungen verbunden, deren moralische und rechtliche Implikationen erheblich sind. Der vorliegende Band vereint Beiträge zweier Tagungen, die im Jahr 2007 vom »Forum für Ethik in der Medizin Frankfurt am Main e.V.« gemeinsam mit der »Arbeitsgruppe Reproduktionsmedizin und Embryonenschutz in der Akademie für Ethik in der Medizin« sowie vom »Zentrum für Medizinrecht« der Universität Göttingen veranstaltet wurden und welche die aktuelle Debatte um die Reproduktionsmedizin und ihre Möglichkeiten aufgreifen. Sie wenden sich den Errungenschaften und Problemen assistierter Fortpflanzung im Allgemeinen zu, widmen jedoch ihr Augenmerk speziell donogenen Techniken (Eizellspende, Samenspende, Embryospende) sowie dem Kinderwunsch in besonderen Situationen (etwa körperliche Behinderung, letale Erkrankung eines Partners, gleichgeschlechtliche Lebensgemeinschaften).
